Getting a new computer does not mean you have to start your genealogy research again. Your existing Family Tree Maker files can be transferred when the correct steps are followed. Family Tree Maker Support can help users understand the process of backing up their tree, moving the backup file, restoring it on the new computer, and checking that photographs and other media are available afterward. It is also important to verify the tree after transferring it so that important family relationships and records remain intact. Taking time to prepare before moving the files can prevent unnecessary confusion and reduce the risk of losing valuable genealogy information.
